The goal is to write a complete grammatical paragraph.  The paragraph is a  iconographic analysis/comparison of the Byzantine mosaic that depicts the Emperor Justinian and the one that depicts Jesus.  This paragraph should be written using the vocabulary and concepts that you read and learned about in the previous weeks. It should be a thesis driven point by point comparison.
 

• Email version Version Due Wednesday March 12th by Midnight E-mail the paper either as an attachment or in the body of the e-mail.
• email it to kmencher@ohlone.edu
• Paper Version Due Thursday March 5th at the beginning of class.  If you are late I will not accept it and it will be an automatic zero.  (Remember I lock the doors when class begins.)

• Development of a topic sentence/thesis idea that you prove in your comparison.
• Demonstration of the ability to do an iconographic analysis.
• Use of Vocabulary. (There is a list at the bottom of this page.)

Spelling and Grammar.

Check the mechanics of your paper.  Grammar, spelling and punctuation count.  If you turn in a paper with run on sentences, poor punctuation, spelling errors, or if you misspell the name of a major character or title, you will be marked down a full letter grade. You need to italicize the titles of the works. (You do not italicize or set off the names of buildings but you should italicize unfamiliar or foreign words the first time you use them.)
